In Space…
Ben was forced to take a shower on the ship as there wasn't time to get clean on Earth.
After a cooking lesson with Julie, it takes eight showers to get out the various smells from his body. Sometimes his clothes are beyond salvageable and he needs to get new ones, though Julie does offer to pay for replacements, feeling bad her failure in cooking is costing Ben his attire. But Ben often refuses and marches forward.
After all, he did promise to teach her…
"Geeze, Tennyson, what were you trying to teach her to cook again?" Kevin laughed at his friend's disgruntled state.
"Ha, ha. You know out of everyone you should know how this felt. After the pumpkin pie fiasco, who helped scrub your kitchen?" Ben reminded.
"Hey." Gwen groaned.
"Speaking of cooking, I see you got something new baking in the kitchen." Kevin pointed as he could smell the heavenly aroma.
"Something for the kids for their soccer game tonight. I call it the Celestial Rings Caramel Chocolate Cupcakes with Marshmallow Filling." Ben answered as Kevin was tempted to have some, but Ben swatted his hand away, "You can have one once their game is over."
"But before that, we need to stop the War of Red and Blue," Gwen informed them as they got ready for the world below.
The aftermath of the war…
"Alright, enough! This war is pointless and it's destroying your own planet. And all for painting the stupid-."
DING!
Ben's ears pricked as he heard the sound of the oven going off, then transformed into Fastrack.
"Hold that thought!" The hero urged the crowd.
"Ben wait-!"
But Ben already left for the ship to quickly pull out the cupcakes and finish them for the soccer game before realizing he was needed back and speeded back with the cupcakes. It looked like he arrived no sooner as the two groups looked like they were going to war again.
"As I was saying… And all for painting the stupid-."
"Wait!" Both Generals howled at the same time, "What are those?"
They pointed hungrily at the cupcakes.
"Oh, these are just treats I'm making for a soccer match at Earth-."
"No! No! Don't leave them on Earth!" The armies pleaded, "We'll do anything for them!"
An idea popped into Gwen's head.
"Ben, I think you may need more ingredients." She advised him as Ben turned to Probity, Argit, and Kevin.
"And I am going to need pairs of hands, too."
The Treaty Celebration…
Everyone cheered as they were eating the peace-giving treats, Celestial Rings Caramel Chocolate Cupcakes with Marshmallow Filling as it was decided that the statue would be painted green in honor of Ben.
"Upon this year and every year to come, we will be united and feasting upon the delectable treats from beyond the stars thanks to the hero, Ben 10!" The Generals of the Planet declared as both raised each of Ben's arms, "This day will be known as the Festival of the Green!"
The people cheered even more as they celebrated with their cupcake treats. While Kevin and Argit were tired, Ben turned to Probity with a cupcake just for her.
"You make a pretty good bakery chef." Ben grinned.
"Thank you, Mr. Tennyson. For bringing peace to my world and making these sweet stuff." The little girl thanked him as Ben grinned.
"Hey, how about for now on, every year I come back, I'll teach you how to bake?" Ben offered as the little girl hugged.
Though one problem was solved, another rose.
What was he going to feed the soccer team?
Wait, he saw Gwen save some cupcakes. Good, he won't get busted by his kids.
